Moi is a ‘bus chick’ and rides public transpotation ALL OVER Seattle. She writes and watches people. The buses in the Puget Sound region are run by a variety of agencies and that may be the problem.

Many folk who take the bus may see their service cut because of the way public transportation is financed in Washington. Many will consider buying some gas guzzling clunker and further crowd the road. The powers that be don’t undertand the value of a really good public transportation system.

Julie Wilson, Seen Reading

“A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it”

“In the dime stores and bus stations, People talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations, Draw conclusions on the wall”
